  In every society, there are those who discourage free speech, critical thinking, and the sharing of knowledge. While it may seem like only those who commit evil or support wrongdoing would want to silence others, the reality is more complex. Why Do Some People Silence Others? 1. To Protect Their Interests Those who engage in wrongdoing—whether in politics, business, or daily life—often fear exposure. They understand that truth weakens their power and could lead to consequences. So, they try to silence anyone who speaks against them. 2. Blind Loyalty Some individuals silence others not because they are evil but because they are deeply loyal to a person, system, or ideology. They refuse to entertain opposing views, believing that supporting "their own" is more important than seeking truth. 3. Fear of Change Change is uncomfortable, and many prefer to maintain the status quo. Some people silence others because they fear that new ideas will disrupt their way of life, traditions...

In the corridors of power, it's easy to get caught up in the trappings of success. The crowds, the accolades, and the sycophants can create a sense of invincibility, leading individuals to believe that they are above the fray. However, as the saying goes, "pride comes before a fall." The story of a once-powerful individual, now stripped of their title and adoration, serves as a stark reminder of the transience of power and the dangers of unchecked ego. Gone are the days of dignitaries lining up to pay homage; gone are the praise singers and the security apparatus. All that's left is the crushing weight of loneliness and the horror of failure. This cautionary tale is a reminder that true greatness is not measured by the trappings of power, but by the relationships we build and the positive impact we have on those around us. It's a reminder that ego and pride can be our greatest enemies, leading us down a path of isolation and destruction. So, what can we learn from...

  Michael Abiodun 08032317659 Security is a fundamental aspect of human existence, and its significance cannot be overstated. The importance of security is multifaceted, encompassing not only physical protection but also emotional, financial, and psychological well-being. While governments and institutions have a critical role to play in maintaining national security, it is essential to recognize that security begins with individual responsibility. The phrase "security starts from you" is more than just a cliché; it is a profound truth that underscores the importance of personal agency in maintaining security. This notion is built on the understanding that individual actions, decisions, and behaviors have a direct impact on the overall security landscape. In essence, security is not solely the responsibility of governments, law enforcement agencies, or security personnel. Rather, it is a collective responsibility that requires the active participation and cooperation of all i...
